Erne extended his goal streak to five games Saturday in the Remparts’ 5-2 win over the Huskies. Anthony Duclair, who started the year with the New York Rangers, had a goal and three assists in the game. Erne has nine goals and three assists in seven February games.

DeAngelo extended his point streak to 16 games as the Soo avenged a recent loss to the Rangers, winning 6-3. DeAngelo, who had a fight on Saturday, set a new career high for goals in a season. The Greyhounds have won seven straight games.

Point scored his 27th goal of the season, but it wasn’t enough to beat Brett Connolly’s former team. Helping the Cougars was Brett’s brother, defenseman Josh Connolly (pictured), who had two goals and was named third star Saturday night. The younger Connolly, who went undrafted last year, is an offensive defenseman who was traded from Kamloops to his hometown Cougars a few weeks ago. He has 11 goals and 34 assists for 45 points in 52 games. The 5’11” righty had 45 points last year with Kamloops in 72 games, along with a minus-35 rating. He’s a combined minus-19 this year.

Ondrej Palat and Ryan Callahan were the game's first and second stars.

The Lightning just asserted their will on the Coyotes in the Second Period and early Third Period to build a 3-1 lead and eventually take away the victory. It puts them in a position to cap off a very successful road trip that many other teams in the Eastern Conference were desperately hoping would critically wound Tampa Bay.

The Crunch captain netted the eventual game-winning power play goal, chipped in a pair of assists, and dropped the gloves in a brawl in the final minute. But Angelidis was most proud of the two points in the standings after a 5-3 win over the Binghamton Senators at the Onondaga County War Memorial Saturday.

"I'm proud the team got two points," Angelidis said. "We've lost a couple games there ... We got two in a row here. So it's key for us to keep going here. I think we've got to get our swagger back. The chemistry is starting to click here, especially offensively, hopefully we can just keep riding it."

Quinnipiac clinched the ECAC regular season title with a tie Saturday night against Brown. This is the second conference title in three years for the Bobcats, who will have the top seed and a bye in the conference tournament.

DeAngelo extended his point streak to 15 games with assists on three of the Soo’s seven goals. He is quickly approaching last year’s career high for points in a season. DeAngelo is now seven points up on the next highest point producing defenseman, even though he’s played six fewer games.

DiGiacinto had a secondary assist on Slater Doggett’s goal late in the third period, helping the Spits to a 2-1 in over Plymouth. Goalies Alex Fotinos (Windsor, undrafted) and Alex Nedeljkovic (Plymouth, Carolina) combined for 83 saves on 86 shots.

The Gophers won their fifth in a row, defeating Penn State in State College. Wilcox has come out of his mid-season rut with five solid games in a row. Minnesota is back in the top-20 after an extended absence. They were No. 1 earlier in the season before falling down and out.

After totaling just three goals in the last five games, the Syracuse Crunch offense appeared to turn the corner.

Yanni Gourde gave the Crunch the lead midway through the first period, Jonathan Marchessault added a goal early in the second, and after the Devils cut their deficit to one, Vladislav Namestnikov sealed the win with a breakaway goal in the third, as Syracuse topped Albany, 3-1, to snap a five game losing streak at the Onondaga County War Memorial Friday.

"I thought we started a little bit slow -- for six or seven minutes our execution wasn't there -- but we started rolling," said Crunch head coach Rob Zettler. "I thought we competed hard. I thought the only time we were in trouble was the second period when we took three penalties in a row. It felt like they gained some momentum from it, they obviously scored on one of them, but we got back to our five on five game and controlled the play a little bit."

Vladislav Namestnikov, Jonathan Marchessault, and Matt Corrente were the game's three stars.

Syracuse had a couple of, frankly, horrible games as they tried to make the adjustment after adding Ashton to the lineup in lieu of losing Mike Blunden. They also had to deal with Marchessault being out of the lineup due to injury and a rash of callups, but you could see that game-by-game things were starting to come together. This was hardly an offensive explosion to get 3 goals, but now you're starting to see some lines gel and little-by-little the results are coming.

Syracuse will jump over Hershey onto 2nd in the Eastern Conference with tonight's result and they'll be 1-2 points behind Manchester for the top spot when the night concludes. So, the hiccup that the Crunch had hasn't compromised their standings position to any great degree. The Crunch are still in a great spot if they continue to build up as they have been doing in the last 2-3 games.
